Yes and no.

But no, all the stupid shit in the US is not normal. Obama was normal. Biden was approaching normal. Hell, Bush was pretty “normal” but we also had this comfusing time becsuse the US suffered a huge attack on our own soil unlike anything before. Like Pearl Harbor, maybe, but that was active war. This was just unprovoked death.

FWIW, I am mid 40s, I was at college during 9/11, so its not like I was a toddler.

I was feeling really optimistic about the world from like, 2006-2016, and even then I was still optimistic that dumbfuck Trump would just be a blowhard do nothing. But then he wasn’t. Then we went screaming back. Its not normal.

Awful shit in the news every fucking day for basically 12 years+ now is mentally draining. Personally, I don’t give a shit anymore about anyone or anything. I hate that I feel this way, but I can’t just blissfully ignore it.

This probably doesn’t help you much.

This should be the baseline bottom, but somehow its not. If you care or not or think its “wrong”, just keep it to yourself because Trans people are not harming anyone.

I’ll do you one better.

I like Tolkien, and I like Rings of Power. No its not a perfect adaptation, but its fine. Its better than those god awful Hobbit movies.

Yeah, I keep expecting him to simultaneously announce they are discontinuing paper ones with the stupid dollar coin.

Yeah, he has no say, she could blow it allon Funko Pops if she wanted.

Ok, but can I still flip the switch on and off rapidly pretending its a lightning storm.

Just send a pic back. No other reaponse.

Better yet, set up a script to just constantly send dick picks back at all hours, at random.

I had a spam email this morming that started out something like “Greetings Sinner”

And I was just like, damn right, then deleted it.

I am not really into raw food, and I didn’t realize it was going to be raw.

Don’t they have “3D Printed” houses?

I think the issue is, we are thinking of robots carrying boards and hammering nails etc.

Even not 3D printing you cpuld have a factory that cranks out walls and some sort of automated system that assembles them on site.

At this point I am wondering who ISN’T in this movie.

I am pretty ccheap when it comes to food. Years ago I was traveling for work sobmy meals were covered and I ordered some tuna from PF Changs, and did it take out to my hotel.

When I got it, it was basically less than you would get in a can, and it had cost like $20. It also was raw, probably intentionally.

I mean, its probably some fancy dish, but I cooked it and ate it. But its probably the single most expensive thing I have eaten.

AI could never handle so many flat out different art styles either.

I had to look up the name to remind me who she even was. I guess she was the Tik Toker who got a Bud Light can that cause a “boycot”.

Yeah, part of me thinks this is part of why they are desperate for these LLMs to take off.

Get everyone to trust it, then just manipulate it to saw whatever fascist lies they want as truth. Look at how Elon gets all pissy everytime Grok starts going to the left on its ideas.

Nah, just Musk. The US Government will bail out Grok and let the others fail.

It makes me angry with myself that I don’t care anymore.

As you said, they voted for this.

Fuck those people. Maybe if this were still the first term, but its not, they went gleefully running back.

Fuck those people. Boo hoo, your drugs are unaffordable and you will die without them. You wanted this. Everyne fucking told you this and all the other awful shit happening was going to happen. But you picked it anyway.

The GOP is.

Trump is just part of the problem.

They also ban you for suggesting Fascists need to fuck off. They tell you its “inciting violence.”

Fuck Reddit. They caved to the fucking Nazis.

Just starting to get on the cusp of the old and cratchety age I guess.
